What owners wrote

While driving on Interstate 20 at a 75 mph speed in traffic, the truck began a loud knocking noise and the engine shut down. After fighting the dead truck off the roadway from the highway speeds and avoiding traffic, I was able to get the truck safely stopped. Upon attempting to restart the engine, the starter caught on fire. I was able to get the fire extinguished with minimal damage. The truck was towed by a wrecker to my home. I replaced the starter and inspected the wiring harness for fire damages.

November 2024 Fire

On no less than 30 occasions, this truck, upon entering an intersection or entering a passing lane went "pedal dead" meaning the accelerator failed to operate leaving me, my family and the people in the oncoming vehicles in direct danger of collision.. I have taken the truck to the dealer, they say they find nothing. I have found 20 plus complaints for the same thing from other consumers. This time my truck is now on day 20 at the dealer.
